Overview

Seeking guidance, he approached Rahul, the Senior Architect, who introduced Snowflake Streams as a powerful Change Data Capture (CDC) solution. Through their discussion, Vinay learned how streams track row-level changes, they also explored different types of streams and understood when to use each.
